Author, Illustrator

Montreal illustrator, Maxim Cyr studied at the University of Quebec in Montreal in graphic design. In 2010, he signed with Karine Gottot the series Les dragouilles, a mixture of comics and chronicles on the big cities of the world. With this series, the duo won several Canadian literary awards including the Tamarack Express and the Hackmatack. In 2015, Maxim launched Victor and Igor, a new series of humorous comics featuring two eccentric robots.
